Factors affecting the amount of long-term restorative dental treatment provided to 100 patients by 20 dentists in 3 Adelaide private practices.

Apart from the effects of the frequency of patient attendance for dental examination, and of a change of dentist, little is known of those factors which may influence the amount of treatment provided in dental practice. The present study investigated during 1992 the effects of seven factors on the amount of treatment provided for 100 adult patients treated by 20 male dentists over many years in three selected Adelaide private practices. The amounts of particular types of restorative treatments provided were significantly related to patient age, gender and frequency of attendance, and to practice location, change of dentist and number of changes of dentist, and to the experience or time since graduation of the dentist. These factors were of special significance for the number of crowns provided, most of which were placed in older patients by more experienced dentists. But, there was no evidence of increased numbers of direct placement restorations being received by patients who attended more frequently or who changed their dentists.

Photo(chemo)therapy in private practice in Belgium, France and The Netherlands.

Photo(chemo)therapy is used widely, and ultraviolet (UV) sources, protocols and indications are numerous. A survey was carried out to examine how photo(chemo)therapy is employed in private practice and to determine whether safety guidelines are respected. A questionnaire survey sent to Belgian, French and Dutch dermatologists generated 593 useful responses. UV sources, doses of UV and 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), as well as the frequency of the treatment, were all different in the three countries. UV starting doses were rarely chosen according to the minimal phototoxic dose (MPD) or to the minimal erythema dose (MED). Total cumulative UV doses were not always determined. Maintenance PUVA therapy for psoriasis was still performed by 15 to 40% of dermatologists in the respective countries. Another striking fact was that genital protection is not universal. On the other hand, the irradiance of tubes is checked regularly, and contraindications are respected. Despite the availability of guidelines, clinicians seem to be inconstant in their assessment of the carcinogenic risk of UV radiation.

Private practice evaluation of the safety and efficacy of bupropion in depressed outpatients.

A multicenter uncontrolled 4-week trial of bupropion in depressed outpatients was conducted in the private practices of 25 internists, 9 family practitioners, and 3 psychiatrists. Minimum exclusion criteria were used with respect to concurrent medical ailments, age, and concomitant medications. Of the 380 patients admitted to the study, 325 were included in efficacy analyses, and 359 provided data for safety analyses. The average patient was a 51-year-old married white woman with a high school education and a skilled job. Bupropion administered in doses of 150-450 mg/day was highly effective in reducing depressive symptomatology as evaluated by the Hamilton Depression and Clinical Global Impressions scales, and the Zung Self-Rating Scale. No clinically significant bupropion-related changes in blood pressure, pulse rates, respiration rate, body temperature, or laboratory parameters were recorded; only 41 patients were discontinued due to intolerance to adverse experiences. There was a notable absence of daytime sedation, and of anticholinergic and cardiovascular side effects.
